Last Monday, a shoplifter in Toronto was caught stealing an outfit for a job interview.

But when Constable Niran Jeyanesan arrived to arrest him, he was moved by the 18-year-old's story and decided to buy him the clothes instead.

Now the officer has revealed that the young man got the job, and will begin work next week.

"He told me he actually wore the shirt and the tie - I'm just so happy!".

Speaking last week, the officer said Walmart staff had apprehended the would-be thief for attempting to steal a dress shirt, tie and socks.

Constable Jeyanesan said that thanks to "some friends who were willing to help out", the elder man is now employed as well. »
